Tables :: Access 2010 / How To Rename Linked Tables
Nov 11, 2014
I have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW
DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments"
DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.
I am using Access 2010.I have a table that I am using to pull my data from other tables and a query.My table is called tblMyData.One of the field names is level1. This field points to another table, and gives the user the choices for states (examples California, Texas, Maine).
Another field name is level2. This field points to another table and give the user the choice for type of customer (examples Business, Consumer) The field name level3 points to a query. The query, qryFinalChoice matches up the choices based on level1 and level2.for example, the user can pick California for level1, business in level2 and California Widgets or Los Angeles Clothing store in level3 (plus about 20 other choices).
If the user picks Texas for level1, business in level2, business in level2 and Houston rugs, or Texas style restaurant in level3 (or about 15 other choices).
-I am recording 1 for California on level1, 2 for Texas and 3 for Maine in level1. -I am recording 1 for business and 2 for consumer on level2.
The query qryFinalChoice has all the combinations for state, business or consumer, and lastly business name or consumer name.
-qryFinalChoice has line1 to match up the choices for level1 in my table. -qryFinalChoice has line2 to match up the choices for level2 in my table. -qryFinalChoice has line3 to match up the choices for level3 in my table.
I do not want any of the Texas business names appearing when the user picks California, or vice versa.
My SQL in my tblMyData tab for level3 looks like this: Select line1 from qryFinalChoice where line1=1;
I am able to get all the line items where California is a selection.How do I change my SQL to pull all the line1 choices where I have selected from level1, and all the line2 choices where I have selected from level2 automatically based on my pulldowns?
I have developed a Microsoft Access 2010 database for my client and the database is split with Front-end/Back-end, the Back-end and the database is shared on Network, The client operating system and applications for all users are hosted and consistent and the service is delivered over Citrix.
The database some times corrupt the tables record and give a permanent #Delete Error, I have attached one of the database table and the screenshot of the error,
I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.
I have table of transaction data, I want to count the number of successful customer transactions but the table includes cancelled transactions with a negative value. I was therefore looking to create a new calculated field for customer count which report either "1" or"-1" depending on if the price is positive or negative. The idea being a count of this would give the customer count. The expression I am using is:
IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)
The problem is it I get an error message saying "The calculated field cannot be created" "verify that expression "IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)" includes fields that exist in the current table"
Is there a way to merge duplicate/similar Access 2010 records into one record?
I have an Access table with 1,000 duplicate records, although they are similar and not exact duplicates. As you can see below, some records contain information that other records do not. Yet, the primary key is the same for all duplicate records. I want to find a way to merge data from filled cells of duplicate records into empty cells for each duplicate record. I do not want to concatenate the data (i.e. combine last and first name, etc.). I only want to fill empty cells if there is a match for it in a duplicate record. I will delete the newly exact duplicate records later. Short of correcting the records by hand.
Example
Code: LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. NULL john(at)gmail.com Doe John 123-45-7891 NULL (123)456-7890 NULL
Desired Result
Code: LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
This may be a simple question, but I'd like to reassure myself, so here goes. I have a database which is used to produce a pile of reports, and the tables are linked to a second database. I now need to update the reports, and add new data for this year. But the second database is password protected, and yep, I don't know that password. (I'm taking over this project from someone who left 3 years ago - I haven't just forgotten the password honest!)
Is it ok to import new data to the second database, and still carry on producing reports?
What if I want to change the properties in one of my linked tables? Can I delete the link, change the property, and then reapply the link?
Hi, There seem to be a serious bug in Access 97, and I want to know if anyone has encountered this before. I tried to describe the problem as best as I can, I also included a flash video to describe everything, here it is: http://naderchehab.googlepages.com/linkedtablebug.swf (~1 MB)
My database has two tables: - dbo_InventoryLocation which is linking to SQL Server 2000 via ODBC which contains inventory quantities for each product, and - tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS which is linking to another access database on the network and contains product information (item number, title, description, and a field called "InvCategory" which describes item categories). I wrote a very simple query that links these two tables together:
SELECT tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber FROM tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS INNER JOIN dbo_InventoryLocation ON tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.Item_Number = dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber GROUP BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber ORDER BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory;
The query really doesn't matter, it's just a test. Now here's the weird part: when I execute this query, and I scroll down to a specific category and count the number of items in that category, I see about 50 of them. But if I specify that category as a criteria, I see more than 200!
I also noticed that this problem does not happen when I use non-linked tables.
I hope anyone has an idea what that problem might be, and I hope there is a way around it.
I was working on my DB, cleaning up some of the field name that were cumbersome and everything worked fine. Today I was doing some follow up work and I cannot change the field names. All I want to do it change the name of a field from CITY to City, but it won't let me do it. I have tried, change from single click to double click, but I was already using double click to open an object; unchecked Auto-Correct, still nothing.
Yesterday I was able to modify a name from Actions to Action (simply deleting one letter. And State/Province to StateProvince. Worked fine. What bothers me is that I have been able to change a field name before and now I can't. I have tried compact and restore, etc.
I have a table in my Access 2010 Database with few date/time fields. I have set different formats like Short Time, Medium Time etc. But when I link this table to Sharepoint list, all the date/time fields have been modified to their default format (General Date).
Is there a way we can keep the formats as such even after linked to Sharepoint list? If not, is there a workaround?
I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access.
ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2. [ABCTABLE] ABCORDER ABCPART

I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
I have linked tables from SQL Server using ODBC connection that their location never changes. I have used certain fields of those tables to create queries and make table queries to derive to the information I needed.
On these tables on SQL Server, there is new data added daily. Every day, midnight, there's new data records added of whatever transactions took place in that working day. how often do I need to refresh linked tables in this case to get the latest data added. I mean, once I am linked, the make table query using those defined fields, would it get the latest data added by default when the query is executed, or I must refresh linked tables using Linked Table Manager and then run make table query.
Also, if I want the access to automatically refresh linked tables, can I use the following code? I have added this code, and executing it through a button, but I don't see anything happen, the database becomes inactive for couple seconds (I guess while it is updating) but I don't know is it updating the tables for sure or not, though I am not receiving any error when executing the code through the button.
Function RefreshLinkedTables() Dim tdf As TableDef For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs If Len(tdf.Connect) > 0 Then tdf.RefreshLink End If Next td End Function
We are sharing an Access 2003 database amongst two departments that contains twelve (12) tables that are SQL Server linked tables. Nine (9) of the tables work just fine for people in both departments. Three (3) of the tables cannot be opened until the user refreshes the link(s) using their ODBC DSN.
We do not understand why nine of the tables work without issue but three will not.
Has anyone ever run into this issue before? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
